Mental distress and nutrition of family physicians, a European based cross-sectional study. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Family physicians play a crucial role in primary healthcare, but many face high levels of mental distress due to job-related pressures and challenges, including emotional demands and external crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • A study using a Food-Mood Questionnaire across 10 European countries found that breakfast patterns were linked to better health outcomes, while a negative correlation existed between healthy diet patterns and mental distress.
  • It highlights the need for dietary assessments as a potential strategy for improving mental health among physicians, indicating more research is necessary to explore these dietary connections.

Article Abstract

Family physicians are a pillar of the primary healthcare system, and their own mental well-being is integral to their performance. However, many studies have suggested a high prevalence of mental distress. The contributing factors include the emotional demands of the profession, work overload, budgetary constraints, loss of autonomy, and erosion of professional values. Outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbate distress due to a greater risk of exposure to the virus, increased working hours, and fear of infecting families. Thus, it is crucial to assess risks and provide preventive measures. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the dietary patterns of family physicians and their mood. This study used a cross-sectional descriptive method and a validated Food-Mood Questionnaire (FMQ), shared via social networks across 10 European countries, to collect data from family physicians. Permission to use the FMQ was obtained. The breakfast-pattern subscale had the highest mean score (14.670 ± 4.305). The other subscale mean scores were as follows: health pattern (13.317 ± 5.388), mental distress pattern (11.184 ± 3.824), and western diet pattern (9.827 ± 3.604). According to Pearson correlation test there was a positive correlation between breakfast and Western diet patterns and between breakfast and health patterns. There was a negative correlation between health and mental distress pattern. Evidence suggests that mental distress may arise from different dietary deficiencies. Physicians' nutritional patterns have an impact on health indicators and are distributed in relation to sociodemographic factors, especially the regions they live in. Diet assessment is becoming a vital modifiable risk factor for mental health, but further research in this field is needed.
